-Preface
The popularity of Zhiling stems from a short video with Tik Tok. In the video, it rained cats and dogs, and there was no audience under the stage. Only two children with umbrellas smiled and slapped them. The people on the stage sang like this, and it was really sad to watch.
The soundtrack of the video is this song "Zhiling".
This is a rule set by our ancestors in traditional Chinese opera: once you start singing, you must finish it. Ordinary people don't listen, we listen.
Many people think that Chiling is a song about lovesickness, but it is actually a magnificent story of dying for our country.
The story happened in 26 years of the Republic of China. On the night of July 7, the Japanese army fired a shot and the whole country was in dire straits. At that time, Anyuan county had not been affected by the war, and the county was peaceful, quiet and happy. Peach Blossom Fan is singing on the stage of the theater. You sing, I'll go on stage.
Pei Yan Zhi is the corner of this theater. On the square-inch stage, I saw his sleeves soft and graceful, and his Kunqu opera was graceful. In the applause of everyone, Li, who dares to love and hate, is alive and well, even at the cost of blood.
Soon, the Japanese war spread to Anyuan County. The Japanese army surrounded Anyuan county and came to the theater to ask for a solo performance for them to express their condolences to the Japanese soldiers and named them after Pei's appearance. If they dare to refuse, they will set fire to the whole theater, and everyone will be born to die.
Pei Yan Zhi just smiled and didn't refuse. He turned to the dresser and made a face.
That night, the county was silent, reflecting the bright lights in the theater. The Japanese sat under the stage, drinking wine and eating meat, and were very happy.
The gongs and drums sounded, the curtain opened and the drama began.
Singing on the stage is I don't know what I'm doing, I'm going deep; There are wolves, tigers and leopards sitting under the stage, and evil spirits are in power. With the eagerness of the drums, the songs became more and more sad, and the Japanese officers in the audience were shocked. Just then, "Li" shouted "Ignition!"
The whole theater was covered with oil before, and when I found that the fire had spread that day, the door of the theater had been blocked.
The performers on the stage are still singing quietly. At that time, they were singing: "I once saw Jinling Jade Palace singing, and Qinhuai water boiled early, but it was easy to melt away ..."
"I dare not forget my motherland." It is my most touching sentence. It is said that actors are heartless, but actors also have a heart.
I still remember when I was a child, there was always a stage in the village. I sang in the village open space under the stars. At that time, even now, I never understood an aria. At that time, I could watch it in front of the stage, entirely for the colorful cones that were being sold. I never thought that both the love in the play and the outsiders in the play are so touching.
I think, the beauty of traditional Chinese opera lies in the word "love". No matter whether it is lovesickness or patriotism, once the opera is sung, it is so melodious and long.
Those feelings that we can't express in words are easy to show in that singing.
It is said that Chiling is the most valuable song of fire, and I think so. It is not easy to inherit the classics, and it is difficult for us to focus on this obscure aria. I think it can be called the "generation gap", the "generation gap" between contemporary young people and classics. You don't know the feelings in the play, and you don't know what you mean in the play. What a sad thing it is.
Considering this, I just hope that more "Zhiling" will appear in the public's field of vision and become a classic sung by thousands of people.
